At the moment in class we have been doing descriptive writing. We have been using pictures to give us ideas of what to write about. Here is a piece of writing I did.

Back In Time Hot Tub

One cold rainy day the rain was pouring down like Coal Creek Falls into the guttering, since I have a spa I decide to have a nice long warm relaxing hot tub. After about 20 mins my spa started to rapidly bubble and then it stopped wait but where am I. This is amazing I have somehow traveled back in time to the dinosaur age. This place Is so beautiful and peaceful. The trees are swaying like professional dancers.

All of the dinosaurs were so big and scaly, but there was one thing that was not peaceful it was ferocious and vicious. It was the T-rex, I could only hear RAW RRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!. I had to run there was nothing else to do or get eaten by the ferocious T-rex. He was roaring at me like a steam train chasing me down. I got away in the puka (woods). I caught my breath and waited for a few long slow minutes. But then THUUUUUUUUUUUUMP!!!!!!!!!! Right beside me I saw the T-rex, I was so frightened I actually peed myself. I was now smelling like disgusting urine the dinosaur finally wanted to eat me but suddenly I woke up. TO BE CONTINUED...

Reducing Waste In Our Environment!!!

Reducing Our plastic

As part of our learning of the environment, Room seven has been thinking of ways to reduce all the plastic we are using every year. To help us do that we have made our own fabric bags to use instead of plastic bags, and we have been making beeswax lunch wrap which is the other option to glad wrap. We would like to encourage everyone to try and use less plastic in our lunchboxes. 

How to make beeswax wrap:

1) First you have to grate the beeswax.

2) You get two pieces of baking paper and place it underneath and on top of the fabric.

3) Then you have to spread all the beeswax onto the fabric.

4) You then need an iron to melt all the beeswax on the fabric, make sure there is no gaps where there is no beeswax.

5) Finally you need to let it dry for at least 30 seconds.

I really enjoyed making the fabric bag especially for my first time sewing.
